Tuesday, Nov. 16: ‘Bridge Generation: Preserving Your Family’s Story’
During this presentation by Daughters of Jacob Genealogy, sisters Elizabeth Lee and Lorrie Walker will explore the benefits and challenges of preserving your family history.
Daughters of Jacob Genealogy, started by sisters Elizabeth Lee and Lorrie Walker, combines family photos and stories with their expertise in genealogical and historical-cultural-image research to create heirloom books.
Elizabeth Lee earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in political science and continued on to graduate studies. She loves everything to do with history and maps, and she makes very beautiful family history books.
Lorrie Walker has an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. She has published both quantitative and qualitative research. She loves tracking down the information that turns family mysteries into family histories.
The duo will teach “Finding Your Family,” an online genealogy course, for the East Valley JCC Jan. 5-Feb. 9. Learn more here.
